Hence the simple solution to your question. If you *know* that typing As*h*** with the letters not asterisked out will most likely result in someone taking offense to it and you getting a trout, then shouldn't it stand to reason that typing *fu* (not using actual trigger) will most likely result in someone seeing a middle finger on their screen and therefore might take offense to it as well?... The point is that *fu* is a *known* trigger for the middle finger icon. Just as the word As*h*** without the asterisks is a banned word on the lists. I fail to see why this is so difficult to understand. Dierk> This smiley thing gets better and better. [Note the irony Dierk> behind this words; I can't use any emoticons anymore.*] Lesse, if you typed xrg:vdi and for some reason someone assigned that string to an offensive icon, who's fault is that? Theirs... You didn't *know* that xrg:vdi is a string for something offensive. However, you *do know* that *fu* is. -- Leif (TB list moderator and fellow end user).
